Nước Chấm (Seasoned Fish Sauce)is the staple table condiment on most Vietnamese dining tables. Most commonly used as a dressing and a dipping sauce. Its complex, yet balanced flavors [spicy, savory, bright, sweet, and salty] have the ability to enhance any dish. It's this distinction that determines the Vietnamese palate.
